Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The maltooligosaccharide (MOS) utilization locus in Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, a model for human small-intestine lactobacilli, encodes a family 13 subfamily 31 glycoside hydrolase (GH13_31), annotated as an 1,6-α-glucosidase. Here, we reveal that this enzyme ( La GH13_31B) is an 1,4-α-glucosyltransferase that disproportionates MOS with preference for maltotriose. La GH13_31B acts in conc...
